Digital Tourism Route: Belarus to Launch Smart City Platform by 2027

On September 27, World Tourism Day, Belarus is discussing the digital future of the industry. The 2026 theme, “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence for Rethinking Tourism,” is particularly emblematic as the Digital Development Center serves as the office of the National Tourism Agency. This is reported by the Ministry of Communications, writes sb.by.

The state program “Tourism” sets ambitious goals to create a modern digital environment for travelers. One of the key tools for their implementation is the Smart City platform. Its full-scale launch is scheduled for early 2027.

The plan is to create a single digital window, where tourist facilities, an interactive map, events and services will be gathered in one space. Travelers will be offered smart routes: individual and group, with photos, audio guides and other useful information. There will be virtual tours and 3D exhibitions, allowing you to get acquainted with the objects before the trip.

In addition, the platform will provide the industry with relevant analytics about what is happening in the tourism sector. In the future, it should cover the entire life cycle of a tourist product - from interest in a place to the journey itself - and become a national tourist aggregator. Thus, the “digital” turns not into a separate service, but into an environment that unites the traveler, business and the state.
